Course description
First part of the two-semester statics/materials/structures sequence. Introduces basic statics as it relates to structural analysis, including a fundamental understanding of forces, loads, shears, and moments applied to structural elements. These principles will be applied through the development of beam diagrams using load path analysis. Provides an introduction to building structural systems and their design and construction process, and covers building loads and the methods of analyzing and designing structural elements such as beams and columns. Discusses the path of loads applied to a building and the structural materialsspecifically, wood and steelthat are commonly used to support these loads in building construction. Finally, the course provides an overview of the tools and techniques used by the structural engineer in the course of building design, as well as basic procedures for choosing materials and member sizes for use in a building system.
